Connecting Health, Saving Lives.
CARE Bridge is an SMS-based hypertension management platform that reaches elderly patients on basic feature phones — and gives clinicians a powerful dashboard to prevent strokes and heart attacks before they happen.

Hypertension is the silent killer of Sub-Saharan Africa
Most patients are elderly, in rural areas, without smartphones — and slip through the cracks of overburdened clinics.
Disconnected patients
Elderly patients on basic feature phones have no way to share BP readings or report missed doses.
Overburdened clinicians
Rural clinics see hundreds of patients per nurse with no real-time visibility into who needs help today.
Preventable emergencies
Strokes and heart attacks happen weekly that could have been caught with a single timely intervention.
A bridge built for the phones people already own
No app to install. No data plan required. Just SMS — the universal language of mobile in Africa.
Patients text in
Reply to a reminder with their BP reading (e.g. 138/89), or TAKEN, HELP, or REFILL.
We classify risk instantly
Readings are parsed, stored, and triaged using clinical thresholds in real time.
Clinicians get alerted
High and emergency BP readings trigger immediate, prioritized alerts in the dashboard.
Care gets delivered
Clinicians follow up, adjust meds, and dispatch CHWs — closing the loop before crisis hits.
Three minutes to your first saved life
A simple closed loop: reminder, response, risk classification, response.
Patient enrols
A community health worker registers the patient in seconds — name, phone, meds, clinic.
Daily SMS reminder
Each morning, the patient gets a reminder to take their medicine and send today's BP.
Reading parsed & classified
Their reply (e.g. 138/89) is parsed, stored, and color-coded by risk.
Clinician notified
High or emergency readings open an alert in the dashboard with one-tap actions.
Care delivered
Clinician calls, adjusts meds, or sends a CHW. Outcome logged. Loop closed.
Everything a clinic needs to manage hypertension at scale
SMS-first workflow
Two-way SMS reminders, BP intake, adherence confirmation, refill requests, and emergency help.
Risk-tiered dashboards
Patients automatically classified Normal, Elevated, High, or Emergency with color-coded alerts.
Real-time alerts
Emergency BP triggers instant clinician notification with audit trail of every action taken.
Role-based security
Admin, clinician, nurse, and CHW roles with HIPAA-style audit logs and privacy-safe SMS.
Multi-clinic management
Run a network of clinics from one platform with per-clinic analytics and clinician assignments.
Adherence intelligence
Track which patients are missing doses and intervene before the BP curve climbs.
Built for outcomes that move the needle
Designed for rural and peri-urban Africa
What pilot partners are saying
CARE Bridge gave us eyes on 200 patients we used to lose between clinic visits. It changed how we work.
My mother gets a reminder every morning. She has not missed a dose in three months — first time ever.
The risk alerts let me prioritize who needs me today instead of guessing. Game-changing for rural nursing.
